I have an ultrasonic sensor on top of my monitor to tell the computer when I'm in front of it or not. If music is playing when I walk away from my computer, it pauses the music player.

On a related note, I have gnucash set up to autocreate a ton of transactions 90 days in advance. Rent, salary, typical bills, student loan repayment, etc. At some point my plan is to automate the following tasks: 1. Sweep checking into savings based on forecasted transactions. Useful since interest is like 10x more in savings. 2. Update asset values daily. 3. Update autocreated transactions as the invoices are emaile…
> On a related note, I have gnucash set up to autocreate a ton of transactions 90 days in advance. Rent, salary, typical bills, student loan repayment, etc. Why do you need to do the transactions? In Germany, I can simply create a recurring transaction for rent and loan repayment, and utility/phone bills are directly debited from my bank account.
I was in the US and want to immigrate to Canada because of US broken H1B immigration system ( for me it will take 9 years to get a greencard). Here is what I did - The immigration website of Saskatchewan province opens up randomly to apply for immigration.

I have food pretty much automated using a combination of an electric stacking steamer and automatic chopping/grating machines. It's pretty amazing how much simple, precomputer, technology can do for you if you are disciplined and creative.
Within a couple months i got perm banned for macro abuse, and wanted to create a smarter bot. I began making simple edits to scripts to add randomness. I kept getting banned.
By highschool i was putting more effort into coding bots than playing the game. I even started teaching myself how to do some client side modifications via ASM java bytecode injection.
I never made a really great bot, but it was a ton of fun. Over a decade later I am a software dev happy as could be.

I’d love to get a 3d printer for 160! Can you point me in the right direction? (Or add me to your alert)
Newegg Business, Davinci XYZ jr 1.0 There's DRM on the filament and it's PLA only, but you can buy the key to unlock and rewrite the DRM NFC chip. I use an app on my phone to rewrite the values

If you're up for it, you can add your own bank/creditcard company/whatever as a plugin to it - I think the examples there are decent. I could also help if need be!
Haha thanks! The problem is in the US most banks would need screen-scraping; they don't have APIs, so it's a lot more work to do such a thing.
1) Creating time machine backups 2) Accessing external hard drive anywhere
Will create a gist when I do finish.

Some have tried, but it would take some coordinated effort over several weeks at this point to over or underwater the plant. I've found that the folks who consistently vote take it relatively seriously to the point they have discussions about optimal schedules and for the most part stick to them.
I'm glad that these people exist but on the other hand It's hard to imagine what they do in everyday life that this topic is so interesting to them, that they want to feel this responsibility for the plant.
